Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1609, History of Saratoga County, New York: With Illustration and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers Saratoga County, it may of a truth be said, owes its historical importance to the striking peculiarity of its geo graphical position. From the Island of Montreal, in the River St. Lawrence, a narrow depression, or valley, in the earth's surface ex tends due south, on a line almost as straight as the crow flies, for the distance of nearly four hundred miles, to the Island of Manhattan, at the mouth of the Hudson river, on the shore of the Atlantic ocean.
